The Mormon Mafia Mind Control – No Different than Warren Jeffs!

An Open Letter to the Leadership of the Mormon Church

The following letter appeared on Craigslist. It captures the reasons why leaving the Mormo-Demonic Church is so painful.

Dear Elder (Name):

As one who suffers from within, I write this letter to inform you of the magnitude of a growing problem. I am fully active, fully worthy, and fully apostate. I remain active solely for the sake of immediate and extended family unity, and to preserve my marriage. The fact that I cannot act upon my knowledge about fraudulent church history and doctrine has created a considerable dilemma for both the church and myself. The church is filled with people like me, and if you do not address this dilemma, the church will collapse from within. This letter, therefore, is an appeal for your consideration of my personal dilemma, and to serve as a witness against you if you fail to act.

I am writing this letter anonymously because I fear the power of your unrighteous dominion. It is not acceptable for you to claim that you personally would not wish for those like me to suffer or fear. The “Strengthening Church Members Committee” has proven its reach in the true style of “1984 Thought-Crime” investigations and “Ministry (councils) of Love” discipline. Yes, I fear you, I loath your tactics and I forcibly serve you. If you doubt my claim of forced servitude, then you would be wise to withhold your assessment until the end of this letter. I am writing with the futile hope that you (or anyone) will care enough to resolve this growing and unavoidable tragedy within the church; the tragedy of those who know the truth and cannot act upon it without destroying their families.

I come from 1837-convert lineage. I grew up in the Mormon Colonies in Mexico; I was hyper-valiant in my youth; I completed reading the full set of scriptures by the age of 16; I had all the missionary discussions and missionary scriptures memorized before even getting my call to serve; I served a very successful mission in Mexico; I attended BYU; I married in the temple; I served in four different bishoprics, high council, stake executive secretary, gospel doctrine instructor, young men’s president, high priest group leader, and various other callings; I was a student of the gospel, and was known for my answers to difficult historical and doctrinal questions; I have attended the temple more than 800 times, and virtually have the whole thing (all ordinances) memorized; I am a set-apart ordinance worker; I am currently serving in three ward and stake callings; IN OTHER WORDS: I deserve your respect, and am not engaged in any unworthy activity, so before you categorize me into some convenient slot, think again.

I have five children, two returned-missionary-temple-married, one attending BYU, and two active in the youth program. My wife and I have lived our nearly 25 years of marriage completely united in our commitment to a gospel oriented home. My wife is one of the most valiant, unquestioning, devoted members you will ever meet. Our happiness in marriage was centered in the gospel. We have faithfully performed all of the home-strengthening practices (FHE, daily prayer and scripture study, etc) throughout our married years. Our children are strong in the church because we as parents gave them that foundation. We are your typical success story.

This changed approximately two years ago. The story about how it changed is long, complicated, and spans years of personal study, personal observation, and experience. Rather than rehearse the entire journey, I will only summarize the end results. Suffice it to say that I have discovered reliable unchallenged facts about church history, church operations, church doctrine, and church culture that have brought me to the undeniable conclusion that the church is not true. Not only is the church not true (meaning that it is not what it claims to be), but the church purposefully withholds (even denies) vital information that would lead ANY thinking person to the same conclusion. Finally, church leaders even boast about the moral and ethical justification for acting this way. This is the behavior pattern of a cult; it is inconsistent with the church’s own articles of faith; and it is the central reason for the growing groundswell of revolt from within. To ignore this fact is the height of arrogance. You are either stupid or you are devious; whichever you choose, you lose.

I have a feeling (since I cannot imagine a different possibility) that you already know about this problem. You already know that the church is not what it claims to be; you already know that Native Americans are not the Lamanites of the Book of Mormon; you already know that the whole story of the BOM is not accurate or historical or even a translation of gold plates; you already know that the Book of Abraham is not a translation of the papyri that it claims to be; you already know that the first vision account is not reliable or accurate; you already know that church history is a warped version of real history and real history paints a pretty bleak picture of church origins and behavior; you already know that spiritual “special witness” experiences are not what the average member believes them to be; and you already know that as prophets, seers, and revelators, you do not possess any such gifts as they are understood by the average member. You receive and even encourage unqualified trust in your special abilities, and you know very well that those abilities are not special at all. You may be talented administrators, but you are not prophets, seers, and revelators, and you know it. Yet you allow members to revere and honor you as such. You are either self-deceived or you are willing deceivers. You know that members believe and teach that you have had personal physical visitations from Jesus Christ, and you know that you have not had this experience. Yet, you are willing to allow members to perpetuate this myth for unknown but unavoidably dishonest reasons. This is a pattern, not an anomaly. You know you are not what you claim to be (or what church culture teaches about you); and you allow this false perception to continue. What does that say about you and your integrity?

So, after coming to this awful realization that things are not what they claim to be within the church, what are my options? This journey was so disruptive and internally tumultuous that I chose to travel it alone. I was absolutely certain that there were solid faith sustaining answers to each disturbing fact. Finally, after I had absorbed the magnitude of the truth, I tried to share it with my wife. To her horror, she saw that her husband had gone into the unthinkable realm of “apostasy”. At first, she resented me for even looking; then she denied the possibility that any of it could be true; then she tried to stand on the shaky ground that even if it was true it did not lead to the conclusions I had made; finally, she clings to the defensive posture that I cannot be smarter than you (how can so many good men be wrong and her imperfect husband be right?). This is where you come into the picture. This is where the church comes between me and my wife in our marriage relationship. This is where the damage is done in countless other relationships. Do you think that you can escape responsibility for this damage? Do you doubt your complicity in creating this wedge? Can you understand how people like me come to a point of powerless resentment against the church? I suspect that you cannot understand such things, because if you did you would use your influence to make necessary changes.

There is nothing more ironic than the saying that “A man can leave the church, but he can never leave it alone.” The truth is that “A man can leave the church but only if he leaves ‘alone’”, or “A man can leave the church but the church can never leave him alone.” You would gladly split up my family rather than allow my knowledge to draw them away from the church. You have proven such intent in both policy and practice.

I am trapped in the church; of that there can be no doubt. And yet I perceive that you do indeed doubt such an idea. It seems foreign to you that I would claim to be trapped in an institution that glorifies agency. But surely you can see the cultural elements (which you support) that limit my options. Extended family relationships are high-pressure control mechanisms. My leaving the church for doctrinal or historical reasons would have a devastating and disruptive impact on the entire family network. You glorify those who leave their families to join our church and at the same time you demonize those who would leave the church for whatever reason. You stereotype those who obtain damaging “truth” as intellectuals and apostates. You encourage an atmosphere of exclusion against those who have information that would damage faith, even when that faith is founded upon false data.

Your efforts of withholding and denying truth have had the result of destroying personal integrity. I know things that I cannot openly speak about, even with those closest to me. I lie in temple recommend interviews so I can go to the temple to see my own children get married, and because my wife is comforted by the image of a temple worthy husband. I lie to my children when they question an aspect of church history or doctrine, because the truth would place them in the same pressure cooker I am in. I lie to my wife because she finds the truth so disturbing. I lie because telling the truth is more painful than a comforting lie. And I learned to lie from you. You are lying to the membership by your silence (and denial) regarding information that is vital to faith. People base their faith on incorrect information; you know this; and you remain silent. You lie for the same reason that I lie; because people prefer a comforting lie over a disturbing truth. I am trapped here because of the culture you have created, and I am reduced to using the same tactics you use at the expense of personal integrity.

Your understanding of the culture you created and perpetuate through established programs is dismal. You preach adherence to the guidance of the brethren; you promise blessings for obedience to programs and leaders; you build a structure of dependence and hierarchical authoritarianism; you inculcate an environment of conformance without regard to individuality; and you do all of this with the stated intent of blessing and improving lives, relationships and family bonds. Your programs have evolved into a culture with the opposite effect than the one you intended; members feel constantly inadequate regardless of their effort; families pressure struggling children with bad advice that comes from your talks and books; you raise the bar, a blatant slap in the face to those who do not fit within your misguided program. Programs flounder not because of poor execution but because they are poor programs. When such negative results reach your ears, you are saddened that the poor members just do not see the vision; that they cannot learn the vital lessons. It never occurs to you that your inspiration and leadership is the flawed element. Either you are uninspired or uninformed, but your leadership is causing more suffering than blessings. But this is not really about bad programs. Rather, it is about faulty foundations. I do not expect you to acknowledge that the church is not what it claims to be, but I demand that you acknowledge your part in the failures. Stop blaming failure on the members. It is cheap and dishonest.

So, I am angry to the point of despair. I do not expect you to do anything with this information, except try to track me down and deal with me through your secret “committees”. I would resign today if I thought my family could remain intact. But I will continue to coax my family closer to the truth with longsuffering and gentle persuasion, and when they can see the real story without demonizing their father, son, and husband, then I will relish our departure and be rid of you and your unrighteous dominion. Someday I will not be so afraid of your influence, and I will confront your abuse of power directly.

Your success is over. You had a small window of opportunity to be forthcoming and open, and you have missed it. History is against you. Science is against you. TRUTH is against you. As you become more closed and protective, you will appear more ridiculous from the outside. Even though you will probably interpret this result to be “prophecy fulfilled,” the result will be the same. Enjoy your last breath of illusory comfort, because it will not last.

I am not alone. I am part of a growing community of knowledgeable members who will not be silenced for long. You have no idea how to deal with us because you fear our power. You fear it because you know that truth is on our side. I would feel pity for you except for the inexpiable arrogance that you currently display without remorse. The law of the harvest will be your undoing. You have sown seeds of benevolent deception; you shall reap a harvest of faithful rebellion..

Disrespectfully:

Faithful Apostate

“When I was a kid I lived in Utah, and the Boy Scouts was taken over by Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS Church). This, so called religion, practices underage polygamy, they send the boy s off on missions to divide the underage sisters among the dirty old men of the clan. Now when these underage girls get pregnant, these same dirty old men, send them to the state to get their welfare checks . You should see some of the palace homes that are paid with welfare checks (not on just one of course). By the way this is the newest religion that was created right here in United States of America, I guess their also in AZ, CA, NM, TX, NV, CO, OK. When someone hides behind religion to do or say something that is wrong we should stand up and point it out (right the wrong). Someone should ask Glenn Beck about it, he seems to have all the answers.”

Mormon founder Joe Smith contracted typhus when he was a young boy. The typhoid pathogens concentrated first under his armpit, and then finally in the periosteum sheath of his shin bone – the most nerve-rich portion of a young boy’s body. Eventually, his shin bone became seriously infected, massively swollen and inflamed. He was very fortunate to survive the ordeal. It crippled him, and his doting older brother Hyrum often carried him from place to place, (including the outhouse) on his back. Joe was subjected to a series of “experimental” surgeries by Dartmouth College physicians where segments of his live bone were extracted WITHOUT ANESTHESIA. The intense pain lasted for several hours, and days. To survive this tortuous extreme trauma that lasted well over a full year, young Joe Smith’s mind became skilled at what is today called “dissociation”. Smith suffered from what modern clinicians call “Dissociative Identity Disorder” (or D.I.D.) Such mentally handicapped individuals enter adulthood with the following symptoms: extreme narcissism, domineering personality, delusions of persecution, and above all – DECLARING THE EXCLUSIVE RECEPTION OF VISIONS AND SEEING IMAGINARY BEINGS SUCH AS ANGELS ETC. ON A REGULAR, OFTEN DAILY BASIS. See http://www.newsmax.com/FastFeatures/dissociative-identity-disorder-symptoms/2010/10/05/id/372682

Furthermore, DSM-IV, the main psychiatry manual used to classify mental illnesses documents that D.I.D. individuals frequently exhibit “hyper-sex” drives during their peak years of maturity – their late 20’s to mid-30’s. Their sexual appetites are never quenched. This would clearly explain why Joe Smith chased so many skirts, and declared a “Revelation from God” to seduce so many women into polygamy to satisfy his personal lusts. It’s so TRAGIC that so many people such as the FLDS polygamists continue to wrongfully believe Joseph Smith was a “true prophet”. He wasn’t. In truth, he was a young man suffering from a severe mental illness, in a time where naive, highly superstitious people would believe anything “paranormal”. A skilled necromancer and shaman named Luman Walters then entered Smith’s life during his formative teenage years in New York, and America’s most notorious false “prophet” was schooled in the use of entheogens (vision-producing herbs and plants) and mass hypnosis by his mentor Walters. This is what led to the birth of the Mormon “Church”.

One of the biggest, most damning falsehoods that Smith’s Mormonism spreads is that God is merely an “exalted man” who operates a “spirit children” factory with countless polygamous wives on a planet named Kolob. This bogus Mormon “God”, the governing CEO of the earth, is so busy making new spirit babies, he can only communicate with one or two “specially ordained Prophets” with whom he has given some sacred (Secret) “Keys”. He doesn’t have time to hear and listen to millions of individual prayers and needs, because, as a mere exalted man, his switchboard is jammed and his schedule is full. This is the reason for the extreme hierarchical power structure of Mormonism. Mormons are not allowed to petition deity and receive their own personal relationship with the supreme being sitting on the throne of Kolob. They must leave that sole privilege to the Prophet and Apostles alone. These infallible “leaders” will then give their God’s orders to the Stake Presidents and Bishops, and the rank and file member must either blindly obey, or risk being “disciplined” as an evil “apostate”. As the video clip so vividly illustrates, QUESTIONING IS VERBOTEN, and Apostles like Dallin Oaks are never to be contradicted – (even when they are wrong.) Jesus Christ is also relegated to the role of a mere “Elder Brother” of the Prophet Joseph. In Mormonism, Christ performed a wonderful thing in the Garden of Gethsemane, (He sweat blood) and so the crucifixion was anti-climactic. Attaining EXALTATION (becoming a God) via blind obedience to grey-haired, power-hungry MEN called “leaders” is the focus of Mormonism and their “temples” – thus the SAVING GRACE OF CHRIST is completely ignored and actually denigrated in preference to the diseased mind ravings (false prophecies) of Joe Smith. HOW TRAGIC!

This power-mad Mormon Theocracy literally desires to take over the world. That’s the scariest part!

Don’t type crap about a religion if your not even part of it. Everything you just said was wrong. I’m not calling you bad, your just mistaken. When you talk about the Mormon church like the way you just did, it does sound scary! I am Mormon and i play the drums,i ride a skateboard, i go to public school every day out the week, and i get good grades. I deal every day with people speaking with heavy profanity, and talking like there is no god at all. But being a Mormon is what helps me stay good while I’m in that place. If a Mormon like me worshiped Satan then i probably would do the opposite of what god wants me to do instead of what me and every other worthy Mormon out there does every day. You should come to a Mormon church sometime. You will be surprised at how strong the feeling of the spirit is. And if you want to call me an idiot and a Satan worshipper, then go ahead. I put up with that every day. But i will always invite all to come into Christ.

Wrong, John. The Pharisees that crucified Christ were “professional” do-gooders. Saul of Taursus was an uber-righteous DO-GOODER who thought that executing Christians was the ultimate good deed. I was a fifth-generation “born under the covenant” Mormon who lived it 110%. Fulfilled a full-time mission from 1978-80 in Rochester New York, married in the Temple, served in leadership positions including High Priest and Branch Presidency. I also was a temple ordnance worker. In short, I know full what about what I write when it comes to the LYING FRAUD that is Mormonism. JUST BECAUSE YOU “DO GOOD WORKS” DOESN’T MEAN YOU ARE A SAVED CHRISTIAN! The New Testament warns repeatedly about WOLVES who fool the sheep by wearing sheep’s clothing. Satan will win a lot of people by pretending to be a “good Christian”.

Your funny, I like you, say do you wanna play cowboys and indians. Or did you forget,American society almost killed the systematic function of the Native American, not to called indians. Oh damn where am I, how did I get here. Through mine own ceremony, gave me the wrong path. Must of been bad peyote.. Do you want to come over for thanks giving.

I came across this letter and after reading it and thinking it over I’ve come to the conclusion that for someone who speaks of having abundant amounts of scientific, historical and “truth” to proov there point, and not include any facts but rather interpret his own opinion to support his claim isbrobly is full of b.s..further more the only proof it provides is him being butt hurt over the church taking his wife’s side in regards to there marital issues…read again and you will c it

He knows exactly what he’s talking about because he took the time to seek the truth unlike the brainwashed members who could care less about truth of God’s word. Sad that now he must live with the fact that he raised his children in a false cult and will be lucky to get them out. Mormon is false and the truth of the word proves this over and over.

I’m so thankful for those who see the truth of this huge mormon cult. I only pray you do not fear leaving that church and believe Jesus Christ is bigger more powerful than this church could ever be. They are a spec in the dirt and nothing more. Speak truth no matter what the cost in the end truth prevsils
